FUTURE RICHLAND ONE EDUCATORS

In partnership with the South Carolina Education Association (SCEA), Richland One recognized 22 high school seniors who plan to study education in college during the district’s Future Educator Signing Day. The event was held May 2 at Columbia High School.

The Future Educator Signing Day is the first of its kind in South Carolina. Every Richland One senior who plans to pursue post-secondary study in education received an offer to work as a teacher for the district after graduating from college. The students also signed a pledge acknowledging their plans to study education.

Speakers during the event included Richland One Superintendent Dr. Craig Witherspoon, SCEA Vice President Dena Crews, 2023 South Carolina Teacher of the Year Deion Jamison and 2022-2023 Richland One Teacher of the Year Caroline Carson.

“The teachers that these future educators have had as students in Richland One have inspired them to want to become teachers themselves. They want to return to Richland One and help the next generation succeed,” said Dr. Witherspoon. “We’re very proud of their accomplishments and their desire to be educators. We’ll have their classrooms ready for them after they receive their college degrees.”

IN THE PICTURE: The ten Future Educators who attended the event were (from left) Noah Bridgers, Mary Elizabeth Barber, Lindsey Steele, Shakari Jones, Madeline McCrae, Zakoya Moore, Emma Marie Rowland, Faith Stinson, Zoey Shekitka and Jessy Gross.
